Answer: D

Height of marble from ground

Explanation:

From the formula of kinetic energy and potential energy,

K.E = 1/2mv^2

While

P.E = mgh

From all the parameters given from the question. You can see that mass is constant, acceleration due to gravity is also constant.

Independent variable must be a value that can varies.

Since Jack rolled a marble down a ramp and recorded the potential energy and kinetic energy of the marble at different positions on the ramp to see the effects on both energies.

This different position must be the height which will produce an effect on the potential and kinetic energy of the marble.

Independent variable always provides an effect for dependent variable. Which are kinetic energy and potential energy in this case.

Height of marble from ground is the right answer.

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3 m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick to
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Magnitude of impulse, |J| = 4 kg-m/s                                                                                

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of cart 1, m_1=2\ kg

Mass of cart 2, m_2=4\ kg  

Initial speed of cart 1, u_1=3\ m/s          

Initial speed of cart 2, u_2=0 (stationary)

The carts stick together. It is the case of inelastic collision. Let V is the combined speed of both carts. The momentum remains conserved.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}        

V=\dfrac{2\times 3}{(2+4)}

V = 1 m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other is given by:

J=F\times t=m(V-u)

J=m(V-u)

J=2\times (1-3)    

J = -4 kg-m/s

or

|J| = 4 kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other 4 kg-m/s. Hence, this is required solution.

You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm
maxonik [38]

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We  also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring,  the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m

A composite wall separates combustion gases at 2400°C from a liquid coolant at 100°C, with gas and liquid-side convection coeffi
evablogger [386]

Answer:

\text{heat loss} = 24864.05 \  W/m^2

Explanation:

If

  • T_1, T_2 are temperatures of gasses and liquid in Kelvins,
  • t_1 and t_2 are thicknesses of gas layer and steel slab in meters,
  • h_1, h_2 are convection coefficients gas and liquid in W/m^2 \cdot K,
  • R_c is the contact resistance in m^2 \cdot K/W,
  • and k_1, k_2 are thermal conductivities of gas and steel in W/m \cdot K,

then: part(a):

\text{heat loss } =  \frac{T_1 - T_2} { \frac{1}{h_1} + \frac{t_1}{t_2} + R_c + \frac{t_2}{k_2} + \frac{1}{h_2}}

using known values:

\text {heat loss} = 2486.05 W/m^2

part(b): Using the rate equation :

\text {heat loss} = h_1 (T_1 - T_{s1})

the surface temperature T_{s1} = 1678.438 \ K

and T_{c1} = T_{s1} - \frac {t_1 (\text{heat loss})}{k_1} = 1664.560 \ K

Similarly

T_{c2} = T_{c1} - R_c (\text{heat loss}) = 421.357 \ K

T_{s2} = T_{c2} - \frac {t_2 (\text{heat loss})}{ k_2} = 397.864 \ K

14 gauge copper wire has a diameter of 1.6 mm. what length of this wire has a resistance of 4.8ω?
Vladimir79 [104]
The relationship between resistance R and resistivity \rho is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where L is the length of the wire and A its cross section.

The radius of the wire is half the diameter:
r= \frac{d}{2}= \frac{1.6 mm}{2}=0.8 mm=8\cdot 10^{-4} m
and the cross section is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (8\cdot 10^{-4} m)^2=2.01\cdot 10^{-6} m^2

From the first equation, we can then find the length of the wire when R=4.8 \Omega (copper resistivity: \rho = 1.724 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)
L= \frac{AR}{\rho}= \frac{(2.01\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(1.724 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)}{4.8 \Omega}=7.21 \cdot 10^{-15} m

Your town is installing a fountain in the main square. If the water is to rise 26.0 m (85.3 feet) above the fountain, how much p
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

P = 3.55 \times 10^5 Pa

Explanation:

As we know that water from the fountain will raise to maximum height

H = 26.0 m

now by energy conservation we can say that initial speed of the water just after it moves out will be

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgH

v = \sqrt{2gH}

v = \sqrt{2(9.81)(26)}

v = 22.6 m/s

Now we can use Bernuolli's theorem to find the initial pressure inside the pipe

P = P_0 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2

P = 10^5 + \frac{1}{2}(1000)(22.6^2)

P = 3.55 \times 10^5 Pa
